m Select an edit point between two video clips or position the Canvas or Timeline
playhead at the desired edit point, then press Command-T.
m Control-click an edit point between two video clips in the Timeline, then choose Add
Transition from the shortcut menu.
The name of the current default transition appears next to the command in the
shortcut menu.

want to add a transition.
